The Christmas Shepherd
Like I mentioned wayyy back in my December 1st Christmas Movie post... I am the least sappiest person ever! So, I was more than just completely shocked that I, who NEVER shows emotion of any kind if I can possibly help it, dissolved into a bleary-teary mess partway through the movie. Now, I don’t like movies that make me actually feel too much but I couldn’t stop watching even through the tears and was SOOOOO grateful to be home alone with my boys and watching by myself so noone would ever have to know I had felt and been affected by actual feelings.
My worst fear is for one of my boys (two Greyhounds) to become ‘lost’ and because of this fear, I am beyond overly careful of keeping them safe. People think I’m crazy for always having gates up when anyone is expected to visit and for being concerned about making people rush in through the door and closing it behind them immediately if not sooner!!! I even closed my moms scarf in the door one time... it happens, if you’re not quick enough, GET quick enough, ‘cause I need to keep my boys safe! Anyhow, The Christmas Shepherd is my fear... Buddy, the dearly loved German Shepherd becomes lost and his mom is devastated. The search for Buddy is immediately ON but not as simple is bringing him back home. It’s a bit of a rollercoaster ride through the searching, the finding and the reuniting but it is well worth the emotional upheaval. I found it a really tough watch but also an incredibly hopeful one because finding Buddy also leads to healing for all who love him so deeply, for all who so desperately needed to find healing.
If you’ve seen The Christmas Shepherd and loved it... YAY! If you’ve seen it and not loved it, that’s okay, too... I will continue to be happy loving it to bits for you! And if you’ not yet seen it and it happens to be on television at some point when you are able to sit and watch... I hope you will give it a chance to become one of your favourites, too!
